Hello,
With an Xperia SP phone, i have something very strange, the battery is empty, i plug the charger, see charge animation with low level, one minute later or less i see 100%, i power on the phone, still 100%, unplug the charger, the phone immediately power off, i plug again the charger, again, empty to 100% in one minute or less.
Thank to take time to read me.

I was wondering. When the charging is over, the ready led (usually green) turns on. If you leave the device connected to the outlet, what happens? Does the device consumes power only from the outlet? Does it use the battery as if it isn't connected to the outlet at all?
It wont run out of battery power thats the main thing.
I assume it takes it from the battery which then gets instantly charged. I say this because my power adapter has a little LED which shows green when phone is charged but itll flash to orange (charging) very quickly then back to green every now and again.
Does anyone have experience charging the battery?
I was using the phone it went dry, as in
I did get the warning that i only have 10% left / 5 % left and then i kept using it until it pop up a message saying
"To prevent damage to the phone, it will now turn off"
and off it goes
but when i plug it back to the USB cable, it got no sign of charging, no light, or indication of any kind.
if i try to turn on the phone, only the Soft buttons lid up, but it doesn't do anything.
Also when i had it plugged directly into the wall, it was not shown as charging, when the phone is ON and running the OS.
but now that the phone is completely OFF, when i plug in the USB charger directly to the wall then it shows the Battery Bar @ 5% for only a brief moment and then goes back off

Yes, it always happens if you squeeze all the juice out of the battery. Be patient and let the cable connect. After a few mins, the touch buttons will light up. then after a few more minutes, the screen will light-up and show you the charging icon. By that time it reached 15%, you can already press the power button to boot the phone.

The same exact thing seems to be happeneing to me. Did you figure out how to turn it on? I charged it overnight and nothing has changed except that the battery status shows a full charge. I still can't turn it on. After I take it off the charger and replug it in, it shows 5% again. Thanks.
the problem with mine was just a cable issue, found another cable, and it worked fine.
it didn't like the after market chargers
Most of the time this is not cable problem... If your battery is down and you put in PC USB - it will light after... you will wait a lot. If you put it in AC charger it will light after while.
PC USB is 500mA, AC charger is 600mA or more.
thanks for all the advice. I did get it to charge and boot. I left the battery out of the phone overnight then plugged in the original charger and the soft keys lit up and aftr 25 minutes I was able to turn it on all the way. Quite a relief.
I have a mate 7 that is about 3 years old now.
The battery ran out at >5%, and never turned back on again.
Even when plugging into charger, nothing happens, no light, no vibrate, nothing, complete stillness.
No matter what buttons I press the phone is completely off.
I opened the phone and checked the battery and measured some test points.
The 5V is present when I plug in the usb charger, and the battery measured at 3.6V.
What is strange to me is that even when I plug in the charger, the battery voltage doesnt increase (charger).
Any suggestions? Any ideas? Any other tests I can do?
Edit: Should the phone turn on without the battery and only with charger?
So from the beginning of story, my wife discharge phone to 0% and it turned off, after it turned off it wont charge any more, so i think she killed the battery. Bought new battery, replace and it's ALIVE, but when i connect fast charger xperia turning off ( puff black screen, on normal charger is showing it's charging and after 10 seconds puff same result ) and red light is on at the top ( new battery is 50% charged ).
So i connect old battery to Xperia Z1 and charge, old battery is working, connect to Z3 and it working without charger connect, when i connect charger phone turning off, and place where is connected battery to phone board getting really HOT when charger is connected.
I don't see any water on phone-board, and white marks near the place of connection with battery.
Have someone same problem, and have a solution?

Your charging module might be damaged. Try charging using the magnetic charger, it should work.
I have the exact same problem in my Xperia Z3 D 6633 . this is how the problem started. original battery started swelling but charging while it was alright and had charged but I saw the risk in keeping a battery that is swelling all the time so got a new battery and that second battery lasted for about 2 months after which one fine day it used to discharge in just under 20 seconds from hundred percent 20 and after that gradually it will not take any charge but at least I could make it pretend charging when I connected to AC and the phone was on as long as there was external power either from the AC or Power Bank. next this second battery was changed to a third battery . with the third battery in place all I could he is a red light there is no charging at all and no charging icon and phone is totally dead with a red light.
some other place I read that there should be a voltage difference of at least 4.2 v for a battery to work in that phone and III battery initially did work but when it was discharged it will simply not charge again.
when you say the charging module is not working what exactly does it look like and can it be changed easily please help me out thank you
Hi everybody,
it's a few days I have weird problem with SuperCharge.
I apologize for the lenght of this post, but I don't want to miss any detail that could help in solving my problem.
I recently replaced the battery with a new original one (I hope) bought from an eBay seller.
When I switched-on the smartphone, battery level was 58%. So, I used it normally and, when battery level lowered at 30%, I plugged-in the charger.
Completed the recharge, I used the phone as always.
At night, with 30% of battery level, I plugged-in the charger and I went to sleep.
The next day, in the morning, I turned on the screen and the battery level was 32%. I was confused... So, I un-plugged the charger, plugged it in again and the phone needed just few minutes to fully charge at 100% (very weird).
Then I normally used the phone for the entire day.
At night, with 30% of battery level, I plugged-in the charger and I went to sleep.
The day after in the morning I turned on the screen and again the battery wasn't fully charged. It was only 34%.
This time I unplugged the charger and I restarted the phone. After that, it showed 100%. So, in reality, the battery was fully charged!
This made me think it could have been a software related problem: so, I performed a Wipe-Cache-Partition and a battery re-calibration process.
After that, I noticed the charging process was slower, although the phone shows "Super-Charge" in the lock-screen.
So, I wanted to monitor the charging process with Ampere and this is what happens:
- as soon as I connect the charger, for the first few seconds the charging rises to about 4000mA (as it should);
- suddenly the charging stops, as if I disconnected the charger. At the same time, the battery temperature rises for one second to 44/45 ° C and then quickly returns to 32/34 ° C.
- after a few seconds, the phone starts charging again, but at 1600/1700mA.
- cyclically, therefore, the phone tries again to increase the charging to 4000mA, but, as soon as it reaches the peak, the same phenomenon described above is repeated.
I noticed that the charger overheats while charging.
I replaced the USB-C 5A cable, but the problem persists, so it's not cable related.
If, on the other hand, I use a non-5A USB-C cable, the phone recharges in FastCharge mode (2A) without interruptions and the charger does not heat up.
So, the problem exists only with SuperCharge.
Do you think the charger is defective?
Or is the new battery defective?
I thank in advance anyone who will help me. :fingers-crossed:
I noticed a similar problem with super charge.. When plugged in for charging, super charge doesnt show.. It takes super long to charge to even 50%.. So i tried other cables as well and same issue.. I restarted the phone a few times and then switched it off.. Plugged charger in and left it over night. I noticed the next day super charge was functioning correctly
